Connie Shoes by Wohl (1968)
Illustrated advert of a model with brown curly bobbed hair wearing a tan ruffled blouse and brown mini skirt. Two shoe designs with bows in the forefront. It reads: "The Connie Girl breaks into Bow Business. Shades of Beau Brummel... the romantics are here. And here you are, dandified from your ruffled shirt to the bows on your toes. Connie colored the pretty pump and the saddle-sling hot, then bowed them, just for the frill of it. Most styles $11 to $13."
